I dropped Pokémon on Gen VII because I couldn't stand the amount of forced dialogue and tutorials. I also skipped a bunch of games like DPPt and B2W2.

I wanna play again. Which games have the least amount of that bullshit? Is XY as bad as they say? I'm also looking for battle facilities like the Frontier from Emerald.

PS: I didn't finish SM, but they do have the best Pokégirls.
